Which print server must I use?

If you are on the Höngg campus, you will need to use pia02.ethz.ch or pia02.d.ethz.ch
How do I find the right printer?
The printer name is made up of the letter "P" – building abbreviation – floor abbreviation – room number. For example:
p-wec-e-23
If the room contains multiple devices, an additional appendix may be attached, such as "-a".
What is a pull printing queue?
A pull printing queue, also called a follow-me queue (card-ethz) is a virtual printer and is only set up on the
pia01 server.
The print jobs are not printed directly on a printer, but first go into a queue to a print server.
The ETH card can then be used to trigger print jobs throughout at ETH on all multifunction devices.
How long will my print jobs remain in the pull printing queue?
The print jobs are held in and can be retrieved from the pull printing queue for a period of 24 hours, after which they are deleted.
How can I order toner?
PiA: The PiA devices automatically forward information on the toner levels, which means toner orders are triggered automatically.
The toner is sent to the mailroom related to the delivery address provided.
Important:The device managers must ensure that the ITS Printing Group always has up-to-date delivery addresses. If the device manager, location or delivery address changes, this must be reported to the Service Desk using a ticket.
How can I ensure there is always enough toner available?
When the toner level is low, new toner will be ordered automatically and a confirmation mail is sent to the device manager. The toner will be sent by our supplier to the current address for consumables by post. The delivery time is approx. one week. In order to ensure there is always a sufficient quantity of consumables, we recommend keeping some reserves onsite. The device manager can order some reserve toner here: "Order reserve toner (for device manager)"
What must I do if the delivery address for toner changes?
Please complete the attached e-mail
"Change of toner delivery address" with all details and send it to

What can I do with empty toner cartridges?
The empty cartridges can be returned to the Office Material department, where they can be disposed of centrally. You can put it in the outgoing mailbox of your building with the comment "Empty toner cartridge– Office Material". The mailroom employees will then know what to do and will take the empty items with them.
